I LOVE XANGA SMILIES

HAHAHA BIATHLON THIS MORNING...
And I didnt go :D

Celeste called me up last night though, begging me to go. And providing all sorts of crappy reasons as to why going would make my life better /: Which is precisely how I got dragged into going for the China trip (although that WAS good) and um, I dont know what else, but the main story is that Celeste is very good at tempting people.

I nearly went. I told her if Keziah went I'd go, and she couldn't get her so now she's angry at me /: Haha. But apparently only Celeste, Joy and Mich showed up so I didnt really miss anything (: She called me at seven in the morning wth because I said she could. Nyehhhh.

Anyhowwww. Last night's dinner. Ahem. Probably the same as every year, everyone ignores us. Eh no this year was even worse, the minute I stepped into the house, some woman I dont even recognize came up to me and said

Oh are you the performer/in the performing arts?
Ahma: She's in synchronized swimming!
Oh so you're not in the performing arts I thought you were...(Rattles on and on about thinking I'm in the performing arts)
Melissa: Um, I'm in the choir as well. (I said this about five times while she was rattling on and on, IGNORING me)
Oh but still you're not in theatre or anything are you. Then that's not the performing arts! (Walks away clucking)

BLOODY HELL WOMAN YOU THINK IT'S VERY EASY TO DO SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING?! AND I BET YOU CAN'T CARRY A SINGLE NOTE WTH. She made me sound like I was doing synchro/choir cos I flunked out of the next best option ): SUCKER.

Okay basically other than that it was pretty much the same. Except my grandparents came to talk to me alot :D Haha yeah and I mean I was just sitting there stoning, waiting for Chelsea to reply my messages and they just sat down next to me to talk. And even when we ran out of things to talk about it was just nice to have them sitting there beside me, when they could've been talking to all the people that they probably havent seen in a year. Haha oh well but then I've been missing for a couple of months with the trips and stuff so maybe its sorta the same? Haha I like talking to my grandfather really. He seems to be the only one that treats me like family from that side. Maybe cos I treat him like part of mine, and he's the only grandfather I've known for a whole thirteen...nearly fourteen years. The other one kinda...dropped out of the picture when I was nine. Not passed away, just dropped out. But I just think that the others on that side don't like me very much so...heh. Oh well I dont like them a whole bunch either anyway.

I think Im pmsing ):

My legs don't ache after being pulled more than 180 degrees apart. Weird. Okay I just put my leg up on the chair, NOW it hurts.

But the sides of my waist hurt more, huhhhh. And I think I broke Jodie's fingers, squeezing them so hard. I felt something crack haha.

AND I FINALLY WOKE UP LATE :D 1230 :D Hohoho. Yawn Tay's dinner tonight /: Cough. More later.

I have horrible horrible stomach cramps, but thanks to Colpermin, THEY ARE NO MORE :D

Choir today was draggy but our item for orientation is funny. Disorganized, but funny :D Alyssa and Li-shan came! Hohoho. Anyhowww went for training straight after that :D

(Sorry I know choir took up like my entire day but for some reason training is always more interesting, no matter how tough.)

We stretched like crazy today, and I got there so early. At 530! But Joy was already there, with her friend and after she left we attempted sleeping on the floor :D And...that kinda failed. Yeah. SOOOO we went to sit outside :D And Cel immediately rushed from home when she found out both of us were there :D Yeahhh so we played spoon while stretching even though training hadnt started and CJL came and scolded us /: And then made us go stretch ): Three different ways wth.

First way was just straight down touching the floor for thirty seconds, on the same side as the leg being stretched. Not too bad.

Second way was painfullllllll. Straight down foot touching the floor for thirty seconds, on your body's other side from the one being stretched, across your chest. Sososo painful. Plus CJL squashed my face so hard while doing that and Jodie was laughing haha.

Third was from the side, touching your ear. Not too bad I suppose. All of them lying on the floor ):

Stretching was veryvery traumatising today I think, Celeste was crying like crazy and ohmygoodness she looked like she was in so much pain that Joy&I started crying for her as well. Yeah like really. I nearly cried while I was doing and Jodie cried a bit and Joy looked pretty comfortable /: My thighs acheeee ): Plus those horrible horrible cramps came back but they disappeared when I swam and they came back when I stopped ): But thanks to Aunty Esther and her lift home I felt better :D Oh and Colpermin :D

AND I DON'T WANNA DO THE BIATHLON DAMNIT ):
Buttt I laugh at the people who didn't go for the Christmas swim and aren't planning on going for the biathlon.

3000m + 100 X 100m = 3000m + 10000m = 130000m = 13K

HOHOHO. Yeah lah not alot to all those serious swimmers but we generally do this sorta thing so it's considered a threat. Heh.

NO TRAINING TOMORROW :D

Check this out! :D

Please note that they put a picture of the Singapore team rather than Malaysia Gemilang. That's gotta say something :D And those three silvers they won weren't from another team beating them, it's cos they were beaten by their own teammates /: Haha.

Anyhow! Went to farrer park to pick up the skirt from Rachelllll<33 Thank you dearie, now I have a skirt for Ms Heng's thangamajangy :D Yay. And then took a bus to school where I had to wait like an hour for the bookshop to open /: And this's all cos I forgot to bring the slip to collect my books yesterday AND cos I didnt get Nadine's word bank book. Eeee it's not nice anymore! It looks so...modern. I like my old book more, thank you very much (:

Yawn going to meet Nicole Chua, Char and May Ann later to go to Orchard Hotel. AND I GOT THE PRETTY COURT SHOES LEANNE HAS :D Damn theyre comfortable :D

Woah yesterday was fun :D Watched night at the museum, way better than I thought it'd be :D And I saw Yvette! Hahaha. We had like so much time before the movie we just walked around rather aimlessly but heyyyyy :D Hahah. I'm waiting for the pictures from Cel! Oh and we got to training like fifteen minutes late but that was okay since we made up like 80% of the total number of people that went :D Haha yeah do the maths. Woah lotsa pictures from training :D Haha but we all look quite demented in the pool and we all have puffy caps ): Darn.




1.5km warmdown and then we played :D I just realised 1.5k's actually pretty short :D

Choir today was...long and draggy ): I dont know how Im gonna cope next year, syf practices and training, one after the other. Singing seriously takes alot of energy out of you, I mean I came home and I fell asleep straight away. I dont even do that after swimming! Haha. Ohhhhh I am screwed for next year /: Ohohoh and I didnt go for training tonight :D Too tired. I can see Jodie didnt go either! Haha. And suddenly I'm supposed to perform for Ms Heng's farewell? Ehhhh. Orchard Hotel tomorrow!

HOHOHO I'M FINALLY GOING OUT :D

With the synchro girls! :D So excitingggggg :D What lah I have no life this's exciting okay! Hohoho. But it's RAINING ): And it's been doing that for the past...3 hours plus. Since before I woke up anyway.

I'm talking to Katrina on msn nowwww :D Hohohoh random.

Okay leaving soon byebye :D

Pictures from the trip! Just afew, I'm too lazy to upload the rest right now (:

Credits to Keziah for the captions!

HOHOHO AND MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :D

My presents this year kinda sucked /: Urgh, just about all the things people bought for me are useless, or I'll never use them so yeah. Or they gave me clothes which I wont wear. SOOOO it's safer just to give me money, really. The only gifts that were okay were the speakers from my parents and a pair of slippers from relatives. AND the money (: HOHOHO.

Finally saw the relatives and all that! I havent seen them for maybe two months plus? Cos of china, then sydney, and malaysia. They all said I look very different. Hurhur. Like more muscular&tanned. SOME DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I SWIM /: These arent distant relatives okay THEY SHOULD KNOW. Oh well. I'm done, pictures up another time.

China trip! Camwhoring in the car (:

Gotta love picasa :D

I still hate PCs though, and Im such a noob it's only half funny.

Hohoho thanks Vonvon! :D

HELLO FREAKS I'M BORED.

Xmas swim this morning was alright, I think we overswam though ): GRRR. But more people turned up than I expected, loadsa the junior team. Even Jesslyn! Haha who didn't go on friday cos she was 'too tired'. She didnt even compete lah please how could she be tired?! /: And according to Celeste we finished our 5k within the first hour and a half so CJL made us swim more. Grrrrr. Hoho at least we finished before rw :D Not too bad.

After was fun though, we gave out sweets to everyone :D HOHOHO. Haha the little kids all wanted some and we had so many that we told everyone to just take a handful and even if they didnt want it we just dumped it on them (: Ehhh but some people just daoed us when we asked them luh. Grrr. Especially the rw people, the girls are all pretty nice though, 'specially one of them (: (No that doesnt count Money. Hoho pun unintended.) The guys all looked like it was too embarrassing to take sweets from us /: WHATEVER MAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH TAKING SWEETS?! Haha. Anyhooo the rest were more or less nice and we managed to give away nearly all our sweets :D SIX PACKS of fruitplus okay!

And I've realised I haven't had much time for myself these hols. This isn't counted okay. Actually I'm not really sure what's counted but whatever it is, I ain't getting none of it ): Yawnnnn.

TAG PEOPLE! I see the counter jumping but no tags ):

I'M BACKKKKK :D

Malaysia was cool and fun and WHEEEEEEE :D The trip was so short, I can give a day-by-day recount :D

17th December (Sunday)
Woke up so freaking early for dunno what, but I was on time :D Only like six of us were? Haha. Check in took like an hour cos we had so many bags, but we looked super pro, same tracksuit, same bag :D And all the roomies walked around for about half an hour before boarding, but cos we were so bored and we couldn't afford anything in the shops anyway, we just rode back and forth on the travellators :D

Plane ride was only like an hour, pretty sucky ): Got to the hotel/apartments but thanks to SOMEBODY we were left roomless for a few hours ): Crashed in Meishan/Annette/Cel/Min's room in the meantime and we helped them rearrange the furniture :D Haha we did exactly the same in ours, a bedroom with a superSUPER king sized bed, a family room, and an empty living room meant for when we did land training which we never used (: Anyhow the long wait meant that we got a BIGGER room butttttttttttt it was a corner room and right at the end of the frickin long corridor. Seriously, anyone who walked to our room would complain about it. Booo. Slept and went for training.

THE POOL WAS DISGUSTING. Little black bits floated around in front of my face, the water was so murky everyone's directions got messed up underwater cos you couldn't see more than two metres in front of you. Grrrr. Plus it was freezing. Like icy freezing. I realised I get tired more easily in cold pools even though you're not supposed to cos I use up so much energy warming up haha. And the platform was so narrow I was afraid I'd walk off it /: Haha. Anyhoooo there were divers there too! But they don't have a patch on our China gang alrightttttttt. Ohoh and screwed up my practice session. Yeah ):


18th December (Monday)
Woke up pretty early for training; we kinda expected to be there from like 0730 to 2000 or SOMETHING but CJL let us go back early, at like 2 :D Watched videos etc, not much happened lah. Walked to the hawker centre for dinner :D

19th December (Tuesday)
COMPETITION DAY! Haha ohmy all our rooms got switched cos the 12&Unders had to get ready earlier so Audrey went to CJL'S room and we were dreading having ______ come stay with us but we got CELESTE instead! :D Hohoho. We were slightly late I think, didn't really get to eat properly.

Oh well only solos on that day so everyone else came later and ohmygoodness performance time. I honestly think that might be the calmest I've ever been before a competition. Haha. Once I started walking it was just WHOOOOOOO. Nervousness all gone :D Haha I think there was one part where I couldn't be bothered to hold my breath so I was just thinking Aiyah, come up lah, who cares? Hurhur. Oh well :D And I remember being pretty happy-go-lucky after that bit cos I can never hold my breath then so I was thinking it's over it's over :D Hohoho. Joyce came and told me after that that my artistic and dunno what crap was very good and my smile was very charming and dunno what and that my technical and whatever needs working on. Boooo. Okay haha. Hmmm Aunty Lena told me pretty much the same thing&that the other judges talked about it and dunno what lah. Huh. Cel, Michelle&Keziah just totally EXPLODED in the water, especially M&K :D And Keziah got a 7.4! :D And by some miracle, I got all sixes :D HOHOHO.

FIGURES! Hohoho, I made a new friend! Katrina! From the Malaysian national team, she's fourteen and she's only been doing synchro for two years and she can dance like WOAH. Hohoho she was doing her figures behind me thank goodness but she was really nice and she said hi and everything :D Kelly's jealous :D

The first figure was okay, I don't think I moved too much, but I didn't go as slow as I could've. Highest score was pretty good though.

Second figure was pretty screwed up, I'm not entirely sure why I got the score I did though. It felt correct to me, I moved veryyyy little (less than normal anyhow) and I went slow-ish.

THIRD FIGURE WAS SO FRICKIN SCREWED UP LIKE HELLOOOOOOOO ): Ohmygoodness. I remember asking Kelly which side I should face, just to confirm. And she&Katrina told me, they reassured me like SEVERAL TIMES AND I STILL FACED THE WRONG FREAKING DIRECTION ): Basically you're supposed to face the judges/wall when you turn, and cos I lift up my left leg and everyone else does right, I COPIED EVERYONE IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT THINKING and when I turned I didn't see the red marking and I started thinking Shit did I move that far? OH CRAP I'M FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION Ohmygoodness I think I got abit flustered after that and I FAILED. Lowest score was...3.1 maybe? URGH.

And I was worried that my fourth figure would fail too, cos everytime I did a chongqi in training I fell over ): BUT OHMYGOODNESS MY HIGHEST SCORE WAS SEVENNNNN :D Which means it must've been reasonably high and the spin down was straight :D Oh man I wish someone'd videoed it haha. Went back late after waiting for Keziah to finish and had dinner at some funny chinese restaurant while the others had PIZZA HUT WTH.

Stayed up late watching a show on Discovery Channel about ICE STORMS :D COOL OKAY. But I kinda fell asleep halfway and had some funny dream where I jumped and my foot lashed out, hitting the table, resulting in a hollow thunking noise, me yelling, and Keziah suddenly sitting up straight. HAHAHA. And Audrey fell asleep on the couch, bringing her back was like how hard, she's so heavy PLUS she was sorta sleeptalking.


20th December (Wednesday)
NO EVENTS :D We just sat on top getting high and screaming whenever one of us was performing. And waving occasionally to whoever walked past :D Oh and doing the headpieces and gelatin and whatever. MA FANNNN. Hahah okay and we had a dinner after that! At the Copthorne Orchid :D Ohmygoodness before that we were talking about where the Copthorne in Singapore was and I said there was one next to RTC.

Michelle: Really?
Melissa: Yeah, the Copthorne Orchid.
Ohhhhh [Silence]
Michelle. It's not an orchid you know.
[Keziah laughs like crazy]

Haha I retold Joy, Kelly, Cel etc in the bus on the way there and Michelle overheard and went, "HUH, YOU MEAN IT'S NOT AN ORCHID?" HAHAHHAHA ohmygoodness. It was something like that anyway. So lousy can. ANYHOW. The dinner! Speeches and everything were boring like hell, so everyone was still asleep when they started giving out awards.

"...from APSC SINGAPORE!"
[Everyone starts cheering wildly]

My goodness when we were done we were all like looking around thinking, wait, who won a prize? Haha it took us like three minutes to figure out that Celeste and Min won third for duet :D Haha that one was really unexpected. Katrina and her partner won gold, not surprising (:

"...AQUATIC PERFORMANCE SWIM CLUB!"
[Silence...then parents&Malaysian team start cheering]
[Everyone else starts cheering]
And then we start looking around and wondering what on earth we won for. HAHAHA. And then the Malaysian team DANCED! Wth lah they were so freaking good like one person can just start with a move and everyone else will just pick up, totally synchronized.

MEDAL TALLY
13-15 Duet, Huimin and Celeste (3/10 pairs)
Open Tech Duet, Cheryl and Jodie (3/5 pairs)
Open Free Team, APSC (2/7 teams)
Open Team Combi, APSC (3/8)

:D

We sat at the back with Irene! Hurhurhur she's very funny :D She'll just randomly shout "I SAW STARBUCKS!" or "I SAW MCDONALD'S!" or something funny haha. We crashed their room after that :D Hurhur but four of them already left! Katrina, Zylane, Zyanne and Jillian. (Hahah I think Zylane and Zyanne are such cool names, I like names starting with Z) Talked lots with Mandy and Irene though :D Then Joy&Kelly crashed OUR room to watch tv and eat instant noodles :D Lousy Michelle fell asleep at like 12 lah, where's the celebratory spirit? HAHA. Cheryl came to fetch Joy&Kelly at around 2.30, sorta in the same way we go fetch BABY AUDREY :D Hohoho. Packed abit, but we still had ALOT of stuff left on the floor. Slept at...three?

21st December (Thursday)
Audrey woke us up screaming "IT'S 8.35! WAKE UP IT'S 8.35!" It didn't exactly sink in for a few seconds that check out was at 8.45 /: Shiettttttt. Haha so we rushed like crazy and we left ALOT of food in the room ): Hahaha oh well. The joys of bringing a huge suitcase; I didn't need to fold a single thing, I just tossed everything inside :D Like literally.

Finally went out! Longgggg bus ride to Penang Hill where we had to take like two frickin slow trains up /: Each ride too like fifteen minutes? Pfft. But we took lotsa pictures going up :D Yay :D Haha.

Then lunch at Tanjong Club then JUSCO :D Hohoho such a cool, overpriced shopping centre, we had fun window shopping though. Haha and I kinda spent a fair bit at Sasa since it was cheaper there than in Singapore :D We sorta ran around retardedly towards the end, LIKE THE AMAZING RACE :D Haha and ohmy when Aunty Esther was briefing us when we got there someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder and it was KATRINA :D With the KL team, even though they were supposed to leave like the night before. They decided to stay one more night and they were supposed to leave at two but they got caught up with buying stuff and they were still there at four /: Haha sounds kinda like us :D

Flight back was good, we got back at around 10.45 and we spent quite a long time by the carousel doing nothing. HAHA and we picked up some guy's bag thinking it was ours and we threw it back when we found out it wasnt (Okay it doesn't seem that funny but it was when it happened alright. Don't question post-competition retardation).

And all the parents were waiting outside! Haha I saw Keziah's sister! She doesn't look as much like Keziah as I thought! Haha. And DLS was there! Taking pictures and everything. HOHOHO and while we were taking a group picture Matt suddenly shouted, "Smile at the camera Audrey!" And everyone went "Oooooooooooh" :D Oh this's just a love story waiting to unfold :D We've been saying that the whole trip and I've known it since nationals this year :D I SHALL DOCUMENT IT :D

Ohmy everything's over and I feel so free now (: I CAN GO OUT! Hmmm maybe I'll go for training tonight, just to warm down and play and whatever :D Hokay that was a long post :D

[EDIT]
Walaooooo I thought we were playing waterpolo or something but nooooo ): 2K warmdown swim doing crazy stuff, singing etc. We cheated CJL of about half the distance though :D And only Keziah, Joy&I showed up, Michelle left early. Wth.

WE'RE LEAVING TOMORROW :D

My last trip for the year (: Haha. Training today was alright, did quite a lot of figures and CJL got quite pissed at me. She's been doing that quite alot the past few days /: Hmmm anyhow didn't really have speed training and we all did routine so I was cameraperson (: Filming team and combi and stuff. Anyhow yes the point is after I finished filming team, CJL told me to film the combi so I sat down on a little bench and this little boy, probably around five years old came and sat down to me. Haha so fine lah, I let him look at my goggles and stuff, he kept staring at himself in it /: HAHAH THE MAKINGS OF A VAIN SWIMMER! Haha. Anyhow while I was filming the combi I felt this persistent insect that kept landing on my leg. Yeah as in I really thought it was an insect. So just shake your leg and continue. Haha I finally realised it was the little kid poking my legs with a bunch of twigs /: Haha so I decided, just let him poke and ignore him (: Haha I'm not the type who'll tell him to piss off or whatever lah.

So, poke, no reaction. Poke, again, still no reaction. Poke, one last time, just to see if she has any nerves or not. No reaction. What to do?

Pokepokepokepokepokepokepokepokepoke.
POKE.

Mumblemumble. I got so pissed lah I just kept moving around with the camera which is probably why the combi vid is so shaky. And he just kept following me, pokepokepoke-ing ): And once I was done, he even followed me right across the pool to CJL and he followed me when I went to do deckwork before the routine /: Haha LiJiaoLian had to chase him away for me (:

Hoho anyhoooo Cel&I decided to attempt getting rid of our tanlines while we stayed back to do figures :D Haha and like just when we pulled down the straps (so the costume becomes a tube) it clouded over /: Hah and straight after you finish your figure, don't breathe first, PULL UP your costume, main priority (: Haha. And suddenly as I was coming up from reverse catalina (don't think about that, imagine looking up from beneath the water) there was this huge FLASH and I dropped my leg and looked at Celeste and then BOOM. Haha Keziah, Cel&I like SPRINTED out of the pool haha.

Went to Sheng Siong after that to buy stuff for the trip. Bought ALOT. Too much I think. Haha. Adeline, Val, Celeste, Kelly, Jodie, Michelle&I went, plus Val's boyfriend who suddenly turned up. Scary okay, I turned around and he was suddenly behind me /: Haha.

Like I said, we bought ALOT.

Went for lunch with Cel&Kelly :D Haha Kelly was very outraged when she saw the METHODIST GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.

"There is no HIGH SCHOOL!" *bangs fists on table*

HAHA. That was funny (: OKAY I REALLY NEED TO PACK, I haven't even started. But wait, pics from yesterday :D

Joy was so happy to find her name plastered all over a big christmas tree (:

So happy, that she in fact jumped for Joy (: Haha okay sorry that was lame.

Celeste folded little cranes outta strawberry wrappers (:

"Will you marry me?"

Joy got engaged NINE TIMES today. To who, I wonder. Cough. n___/n_____(:

Yay okay time to pack.

Training was so draggy tonight ): And thennn we had the meeting and Joy's surprise party :D Haha Aunty Wendy was going through the rules and then she said (I quote) "if you all want to B-I-T-C-H, save it for later." And I could see Celeste's brain working to figure out what she'd just said, like looking around thinking B...I...T...C...H. B...I...What does that spell? HAHA then suddenly she went OHHH :D HAHA.

And ohmy this morning (afternoon?) after we got out of the pool CJL asked us to ba ... sai diao. Haha I had no idea what she was saying until Jodie told me she wanted us to tan off our tanlines /: Haha like pull down the straps and tan. Quite obscene but we didn't do it anyway and I don't think we'd be able to tan that fast. We only have like...a day left?

WE ONLY HAVE ONE STUPID DAY LEFT! :DDD

Our plan fell through ): No point saying what it was about now anyway since nothing's coming outta it. BOOOOOO. Anyhow training today was...alright. A bit of speed training but it wasn't too bad I guess. And I realised how dependent I am on my goggles, for some reason I just couldn't hold my breath without my goggles. Grrrr. I was fine the last time before the China comp but now...URGH. I think I'm gonna drown while performing or something /:

Went for lunch at Novena with Celeste, Joy, Cheryl and Jodie :D Haha this's seriously the closest I get to going out, it's so sad ): Anyhoooo Nadine was performing for the lunchtime thing, Mama was there as well so I went off to eat after she finished. Haha we were at mos burger for around one or two hours? Doing the usual things haha. Somehow every lunch turns into a gossip/bitchfest haha. Went to cold storage to buy stuff for the China - No, wait, MALAYSIA trip, energy bars and marshmallows :D Haha. Me and Cel keep saying CHINA TRIP CHINA TRIP and everyone we say it to goes CHINA TRIP?! Haha. And then went to watsons to get Joy&Annette's birthday presents! (: And it's so sad, now when we leave we don't say SEE YOU TOMORROW, we say SEE YOU IN A FEW HOURS ): Urgh.

Training/meeting later, and I need to pack! I somehow have a feeling that I won't start til tomorrow though /:

Didn't get into the water today /: I'm not entirely sure if I wanted to but I felt a bit sick so yeah. But Mei-Shan looked MUCH worse than me and she went in after awhile so I felt a bit bad bout that. AHHH. Oh well they got a cameraperson to do the filming since I wasn't swimming, I think I arch my back when I film for some reason, and it hurts ALOT now. Rarh. Sooo I just wrote down all my figures AND THE PAPER FLEW INTO A PUDDLE WHILE I WAS FILMING ): At least the ink didn't smudge, so I'm just giving it to CJL anyway :D

And by the end of today, we should (hopefully) have a nice video to put on youtube :D FINALLY. Haha all the rest were far too spasticated, this one should be good. That is, if Uncle Zahil (is that how you spell it?) remembers to film it.

Went for lunch at KK's Delifrance with Celeste, Min, Jodie, Kelly&Joy! Haha I think this might be the closest I get to going out /: Haha Min left early for her prefect thingee and we just sat and talked crap as usual :D And when some people started eyeing our table we shifted to Macdonalds! Hurhur and then talked SOMEMORE :D Haha I think we just spent around 1-2 hours talking, it's quite weird actually, once you get off the bus (since we all generally can take the same buses) it's so QUIET. Haha.

HAHA. Celeste and Joy :D

CELESTE SO PREEEETY

Joy's so gay, she wore her performance costume under her clothes cos she forgot to bring underwear /: HAHAHA.
(Don't kill me, Joy)

I AM ANGRY. There wasn't training this morning and no one told me ): Oh well at least Michelle was there so she accompanied me when CJL asked us to train since we were there already. ARGH. Oh well after training went to KK to get food with Jodie&Michelle and we somehow started talking about dramas. HAHA. Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy etc. Haha. Then Michelle started on Laguna Beach and she went, "How can anyone have so many break-ups, make-ups, hook-ups and make outs?!" HAHA.

Oh!

CHINA PICTURES! HERE AND HERE!

Yay I'm done (: I uploaded veryyy few of Keziah and Min's pictures, but the ones I did are HIGHLIGHTS :D Sorta. Hahah. And I gave up on captioning after awhile. Alright time for training!

Training was kinda useless tonight. Haha. But it wasn't too bad cos Keziah wasn't doing team so I could talk rubbish with her (: Or maybe it was useless cos I talked to her too much. HAHA. Anyhoooo I found out lotsa scandalous stuffs! :D

AND I KNOW WHO I'M ROOMING WITH :D Keziah, Michelle&Some younger doode. Haha, not sure who yet but I reserved Audrey! YAY. Haha Keziah was saying how she would die if she stayed with me or Michelle, cos she she claims we take a long time getting outta the room, primping and shit. (Which is totally untrue okay. I can get dressed and get to training in ten minutes flat; maybe Michelle though.) And now she got landed with both of us! Haha. But she knows we're gonna have a hell lotta fun :D

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Ohmygoodness I was in so much pain today ): And Celeste knows why, and she still tried to make me laugh ): It hurt when I laughed, sneezed, coughed, ANYTHING ): BOOOOOOO. And she can still ask me to bring things for her to play with /: HAHA. I started laughing when she said that and dear me I nearly died haha.

Training was good, we only got in at like 9! :D But I was there like ONE minute late (we really need to leave the house earlier) and CJL told me to look at the clock and see what time it was, and I said 7.05 on the dot (: IT WAS OKAY. The big clock is fast, the one I looked at was just right I think. And the one inside is four minutes slower than the one I looked at. But heyyyy I didn't have to do fly so who cares? Hahah.

Went to KK for lunch with Min and Celeste (who wasn't supposed to eat AT ALL). And we started talking about A LOT of things, competitions, performances, low qualitly performance costumes etc HAHA. But honestly now I'm getting pretty scared about Malaysian Open. I wasn't really feeling very scared before, not as scared as I'd been about China Age Group. Maybe it was cos I didn't really have a standard to uphold there (I'm not even entirely sure if I have one now), but I think I'll feel bad about myself if I lose out. Or maybe I've just been underestimating them. Either way, I don't think it's good.

And I shall promise myself that my half of the pictures will be up before we leave for Penang :D I've already uploaded half of mine, so (half of mine+Keziah's+Min's+Celeste's)=Oh, I don't know, maybe another 1500? OMGGGGGG. (The two zeros weren't typos aight.)

Training again later ):

I know why I don't mind going for training now.

BECAUSE IT OCCUPIES A RATHER LARGE PART OF MY DAY.

Which gives me sufficient time to use the computer, cos I've just realised that I don't have THAT many things to do on the computer, and I've totally run out, so here I am trying to occupy my time. Aaaaand that's kinda hard cos nothing happened today so I have nothing to blog about /:

Shutterfly is taking a veryvery long time to upload my photos! ):< And I've only uploaded like a tenth of the photos so far! Keziah, Cel, I NEED HELP!

OHHH I am bored ): And there's nothing to watch on tv! ): Hmmm the holidays are going by pretty fast, about one and a half months outta the country already. And in a week we'll be in Penang, then once we get back, another week or so and the term begins again! ): OHHHHH NO ):

Oh well maybe the year'll go by quickly and we'll be able to go back to Nanjing again :D I don't think WJL wants us back though, everyone kept dropping hints about inviting us back but she just laughed. Haha I bet she wasn't aware how low our standard was when she invited us.

I'M FREEEEEE :D

I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO FOR TRAINING TONIGHT :D

cjl told me not to go this morning probably cos they're doing team and i'm not doing it anyway so it's kinda pointless. oh man yesterday night's training was so screwed up, it was raining so heavily when i was walking there and there was thunder and lightning and it was SCARYYYY. i was totally soaked by the time i got to the pool luh. and i found out something (: HEHEHE. hello joy (: haha we were so high and i bet everyone who saw us thought we were crazy haha especially when we were giving out the gifts. now we have synchronized underwear too :D we should've bought bras for them there too, then we'd be synchronized all the way :D hurhur.

we had a meeting after that about the tracksuits or something? the arena one was nice but the tyr one came with a bag for like sixty dollars altogether. and the bag's original price was FIFTY. but aunty lena managed to get us the arena tracksuit and tyr bag for FIFTY TWO DOLLARS :D wheeeeeeeeeeeee. so the tracksuit is like...TWO DOLLARS :D how cool please. haha. training today was...DRAGGY. they were all doing combi while i was at the side doing figures and my solo and it was FREEZING ): and she played my music once then i stopped like halfway and i went "jiaolian, mei you le (:" oh man i think she wanted to kill me lah and cheryl and jodie were laughing. oh dearrrrrrr. back to the video then ):

OOOOO

i feel tired and sleepy and lazy and sian now ):

i got to training like HOW EARLY today so that i wouldn't have to end up doing thousand fly but THE GATES WEREN'T EVEN OPENED YET. thennn i found out training ended at ELEVEN instead of TWELVE (i'm aware that that's supposed to be a good thing).

but there's a catch. there always is, isn't there?

I HAVE TO GO BACK AGAIN TONIGHT.
ohhhhhh horror.

and training ended at twelve! ): cos we were talking and we didn't do our figures so cjl made us stay back to do it ): and in the morning i sat in the stuffy office for like TWO HOURS trying to get my routine together and it's still not done ): BOOOOOO. oh but it was SO COOL today everyone was wearing different coloured caps! (: like a RAINBOW :D including silver and white! hurhurhur. cjl thinks it's quite cool and like that she'll be able to know who everyone is! haha.

oh well yesterday's training was quite cool, better than i expected since coach wasn't there (: and we cut 2k down to 1k :D hurhur. AND THERE'S NO TRAINING ON THURSDAY; WE'RE HAVING A PARTAYEEE :D haha went walking with daphne, carrie and chia at novena after that (: we went to velocity and it's not that great but I FOUND MY PINK SWIMCAP :D YAY :D arena, kinda expensive and made me broke but...HEY, PINKKKK :D and omg when i went to synchro today keziah was like WHY'D YOU BUY A PINK CAP?! GUOLI GAVE ME HERS TO GIVE YOU!

omggggg. cos i asked her where she got hers and then keziah helped me ask again after i left and guoli just took it off and told her to give it to me! ahhhhhh. and one of her seniors gave it to her i think. omg so sweet (: and maybe when i wear her cap i'll get her POWERRRRR :D hellooooo she's the BEST IN CHINA IN HER AGE GROUP!
